NORTH AMERICA, INC., ) ) Defendants. ) COMPLAINT The Plaintiff, Commonwealth of Virginia, by and through its Attorney General, Mark R. Herring, brings this action complaining of FCA US LLC ("FCA") and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. ("Fiat N.V." and, together with FCA, the "Fiat Defendants" or simply "Fiat"); and VM Motori S.p.A. ("VM Italy") and VM North America, Inc. ("VM America" and, together with VM Italy, the "VM Defendants" or simply "VM"), and states as follows: I. INTRODUCTION The Commonwealth of Virginia seeks relief for the massive and deliberate deception of consumers and regulators perpetrated by the aforementioned Defendants (collectively "FCA") in relation to the certification, marketing, and sale to consumers of more than 100,000 model year ("MY") 2014-2016 "EcoDiesel" Ram 1500 pickup trucks and Jeep Grand Cherokee sport utility 1 vehicles (the "Diesel Vehicles" '), including more than 2,000 within the Commonwealth of Virginia (the "Virginia Diesel Vehicles"). 2. Defendants designed, deployed and then concealed from the public and regulators multiple auxiliary emission control devices ("AECDs") in the Diesel Vehicles' electronic control modules. Those AECDs, when used alone or in combination with another device, operated as illegal "defeat devices": software strategies that optimize emission controls during formal emissions test cycles so that emissions appear to be within legal limits while reducing emission controls outside of those test cycles ("off-cycle") in normal, real-world operations.

ADESA Partners with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Pilot Next Evolution of Simulcast Sale
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADESA Partners with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Pilot Next Evolution of Simulcast Sale Hosts Exclusive Livestreaming Sale from Four Locations as Part of FCA Inaugural CPOV Meeting CARMEL, Ind. – September 19, 2019 – ADESA, a business unit of global automotive remarketing and technology solutions provider KAR Auction Services Inc. (NYSE: KAR), partnered with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to pilot an ADESA Simulcast sale outside of the physical auction sale-day environment. As part of FCA’s inaugural national CPOV (certified preowned vehicle) dealer meeting, vehicles were launched into auction from four ADESA auction locations — ADESA Golden Gate, ADESA Indianapolis, ADESA Kansas City and ADESA Las Vegas. FCA CPO dealers attending the event were able to participate in fast, live bidding action. “We were extremely pleased to work with our strong partners at FCA to demonstrate the powerful potential of ADESA Simulcast to this sophisticated and tech savvy group of dealers,” said John Hammer, ADESA president. “ADESA Simulcast allows us to bring the auction right to our dealers — exposing sellers to a broader buyer base and helping buyers access the hard-to- find inventory they need. We were honored to pilot this with FCA and to add to the excitement and energy of their annual meeting.” Launched earlier this year, ADESA Simulcast is a cloud-based auction solution that allows dealers to participate virtually in multiple in-lane sales occurring in any location. As part of ADESA Simulcast, participating dealers can easily access detailed condition reports, photos, valuation tools and transportation options for purchased vehicles. The FCA sale was the first use of the technology to launch from multiple sites in a non-sale-day environment to a defined, exclusive group of dealers.

NEW Press Information Coburg, December 10th, 2010 NEW 2 The legend returns. The NEW STRATOS will be officially presented on 29./30.11.2010, at the Paul Ricard Circuit in Le Castellet. The legendary Lancia Stratos HF was without a doubt the most spectacular and successful rally car of the 70s. With its thrilling lines and uncompro- mising design tailored to rally use, the Stratos not only single-handedly rewrote the history of rallying, it won a permanent place in the hearts of its countless fans with its dramatic performance on the world’s asphalt and gravel tracks – a performance which included three successive world championship titles. For Michael Stoschek, a collector and driver of historic racing cars, as well as a successful entrepreneur in the automotive supply industry, the development and construction of a modern version of the Stratos represents the fulfillment of a long-held dream. Back in 2003, the dream had already begun to take on a concrete form; now, at last, it has become a reality: In November 2010, forty years after the Stratos’ presentation at the Turin Motor Show, the New Stratos will be publicly presented for the first time at the Paul Ricard Circuit. The legend returns. NEW 3 A retrospective. It all began in 1970, at the Turin exhibition stand of the automobile designer, Bertone. The extreme Stratos study on display there – a stylistic masterpiece by the designer Marcello Gandini – didn’t just excite visitors, but caught the attention of Cesare Fiorio, Lancia’s team manager at the time… and refused to let go.

La Storia Del Logo Fiat
La storia del logo Fiat Fiat Automobiles Nazione Italia Tipologia Società per azioni Fondazione 1899 a Torino Sede principale Torino Gruppo Fiat SpA (tramite Fiat Group Automobiles) Persone chiave Olivier François, Direttore operativo Settore Metalmeccanica (Autoveicoli) Prodotti autovetture Slogan Life is best when driven Sito web www.fiat.it La FIAT (nata come acronimo di Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino), nota come Fiat Automobiles negli Stati Uniti, è stata fondata l'11 luglio 1899 a Torino come casa produttrice di automobili, per poi sviluppare la propria attività in numerosi altri settori, dando vita al più importante gruppo finanziario e industriale privato italiano. Dal 1º febbraio 2007 fa parte, insieme ai marchi Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Abarth e Fiat Professional, di Fiat Group Automobiles (abbreviato in FGA) che rappresenta una delle diramazioni del gruppo industriale Fiat SpA. Storia e direzione aziendale L'azienda nacque dalla comune volontà di una decina tra aristocratici, possidenti, imprenditori e professionisti torinesi di impiantare una fabbrica per la produzione di automobili. L'idea di produrre automobili su scala industriale era venuta agli amici Emanuele Cacherano di Bricherasio e Cesare Goria Gatti (già fondatori dell'ACI Automobile Club d'Italia) che avevano precedentemente costituito e finanziato la "Accomandita Ceirano & C.", finalizzata alla costruzione della "Welleyes", un'automobile progettata dall'ing. Aristide Faccioli e costruita artigianalmente da Giovanni Battista Ceirano. Visto il successo ottenuto dalla "Welleyes" alla sua presentazione, Bricherasio e Gatti proposero ad un gruppo di conoscenti di acquisire le esperienze, le maestranze e la competenza della "Accomandita Ceirano & C." per trasferirle su scala industriale, come già avveniva nella fabbriche dell'Europa settentrionale.
